Case Study: Newell Brands achieves full compliance with Spanish tax authorities with SAP e-document processing

How Can a Company Exchange Electronic Documents with Business Partners in Full Compliance with Spanish Tax Authorities

Newell Brands, a global consumer products company, faced the challenge of complying with a new Spanish tax regulation called "Immediate Supply of Information." The law required the real-time electronic submission of invoice data to authorities, and the company needed a solution implemented by a tight July 2017 deadline to avoid penalties. To meet this challenge, Newell Brands turned to vendor SAP for its e-document processing solution.

With the help of SAP MaxAttention services and the SAP Cloud Platform Integration service, Newell Brands implemented the SAP ERP option for e-document processing on time. The solution provided by SAP enabled centralized e-document processing and ensured full compliance with the Spanish tax authority. This gave Newell Brands the ability to electronically transmit billing records securely and the flexibility to react quickly to any future regulatory changes mandated by the government.
